Today I went to see The Angry Birds Movie 2 with my mum and brother. I really didn’t want to go. I didn’t think it would be any good as I used to like Angry Birds but don’t any more but… IT WAS SUPER GOOD. At the start the green pigs and the angry birds… Angry Birds Movie 2 (kids’ review!)

Leo Da Vinci: Mission Mona Lisa (kids’ review!) 4 stars
My name is Ashton and I’m 10. Ok; I admit I was going to give this film two stars and as you can see I gave it four stars by the end. (oh and if you haven’t looked at the rating then DO IT NOW!!!) 🙂 Lisa’s crops burn down on the farm and her… Leo Da Vinci: Mission Mona Lisa (kids’ review!) Read More

My name is Cassian and I’m 7. This is my review of Playmobil The Movie which I saw today with my mum and my brother. A sister and brother called Marla and Charlie find out their parents have died in a car accident, so Marla has to stay at home to look after Charlie (who… Playmobil The Movie (kids’ review!)

Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans (kids’ review!) 4.5 stars
My name is Ashton, and I’m 10. Horrible Histories: Rotten Romans is out soon! This is my review of the film. The two main characters in the film were called Atti (played by Sebastian Croft) and Orla (Emilia Jones). I thought the actors were both really good. Atti is a Roman soldier sent to Britain, where… Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans (kids’ review!) Read More
Midsommar 3.5 stars
Coming out of Midsommar I immediately saw a very blonde woman dressed in a blue and white folksy-style dress, her expression friendly yet with sinister undertones, and nearly legged it, before realising it was my own reflection in a shop window. Midsommar‘s crowd of smiling, fair-haired, prettily dressed cult members are ominous to us from the… Midsommar Read More
Apollo 11 (Sundance London) 5 stars
The words that sum up Apollo 11 hark back to magic – yes, this paen to science (technology, maths, physics) and humanity (bravery, a compulsion to explore, even teamwork) is spellbinding, entrancing, mesmerising. An extraordinary event deserves an extraordinary movie documenting it, and Apollo 11 is certainly that. In a modern era where there are few… Apollo 11 (Sundance London) Read More
Robert The Bruce 3 stars
Angus Macfadyen, reprising his role as Robert the Bruce, is a lot older than when he portrayed the future Scottish king in Braveheart, though it fits this Robert; a man wiser, ground down, painfully aware of where his actions have led the country: “I truly believed that God had chosen me to be King. And then we… Robert The Bruce Read More
The Perfection 3.5 stars
Considering its title, the symmetry in new Netflix thriller horror The Perfection – only fully revealed at the very end – is to be expected. The trailer (below, which I’m going to assume you’ve seen) positions this as a straight-up horror, and Charlotte (Allison Williams) as a demented stalker, wielding a kitchen machete and with… The Perfection Read More
Long Shot 4 stars
This is a grown-up comedy, what with it being about politics, ethical journalism, the environment, personal integrity, Boyz II Men, boners, masturbation, and drugs. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is Secretary of State, working under President Chambers (Bob Odenkirk) whose route to power was a decade spent playing the president on TV. Which is very funny… Long Shot Read More
BlacKkKlansman (Cannes 2018) 4 stars
There’s a big sign strung across the entrance to the Colorado Springs Police Department, encouraging new recruits from diverse backgrounds to apply. Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is soon their first black police officer, fulfilling his lifelong dream. And once there, he also joins another outfit as their first black recruit; the local branch of… BlacKkKlansman (Cannes 2018) Read More
Fahrenheit 451 (Cannes 2018) 2.5 stars
I love the initial minutes of dystopian storytelling; how a society got to this point, the new realities of everyday life, and the capacity of the human spirit to absorb horrific change without challenging it. How much do they agree? How much are they hoping someone else will save them? Or maybe they just don’t… Fahrenheit 451 (Cannes 2018) Read More
No Shade 3.5 stars
*** No Shade is showing as part of the Pan-African Film+ Arts Festival in LA this February – find out more here *** “If I’m natural I’m bush, and if I put on a wig I’m fake”, cries the beautiful and elegant Jade in frustration, as a succession of terrible dates and a broken love… No Shade Read More
